korean bbq: beef vs pork

so! what about you?are u team-beef or team-pork?i am such a carnivore (rawr~) that i loved both!!(although i would definitely pick beef if i had to pick only one)

now . . . where are my favorite korean bbq places around la?i can easily name few, but here are my favorites:park's bbq for beef & don dae gam for porkand guess what!they are sister restaurants owned by chef jeneefor more information, you can click herei also like their korean tapas restaurant laon, which will be featured soon

1. park's bbqtop quality meatgreat banchan aka side dishesgood korean main dishes including kalbi-tang & jjigaessuperb service. . . what's not to love?honestly, whatever you decide to eat will be mouth-watering goodbut i do highly recommend their prime ggot sal which will "melt-in-your-mouth". . . literally!!!

prime ggot sali mean, look at the marbling!

this tastes like BUTTER

when you are hungry & you need to start with something,beef brisket is the way to go ;)

2. don dae gamtop quality meat10 different selections of pork which you can get in good combosgreat banchan aka side dishessuperb service. . . what's not to love?i have one recommendation which is actually more of a "MUST"PORK NECKyup . . .pork neck which you can't find at too many places is really exceptional herenop . . .none of that greasy pork feeling which you do get sometimes from pork belly, but the pork neck is amazing with great texture & flavor

even raw meat looks de-li-ci-o-so

don dae gam also has great banchans! yumm!

my favoritepork neck

half-way ready!!! ohhhhh the anticipation *drool*

isn't this the fattest pork belly you've seen? ever?

now that is a good meal :Di do suggest that you eat it with lots of roasted garlic

looks fatty, but these are actually not that greasy!good quality meat ftw!!!when eating pork, few shots of soju will help you to eat more ;)

marinated pork neck is good toobut as a meat-lover, i always prefer the non-marinated meats ;)
